You've quit the same habit more than once and slipped back every time. You know exactly what you should be doing and still can't make yourself do it. The stress simply won't switch off at night.
Chronic tension doesn't live in your head, it lives in the tissue. Myofascial and craniosacral work goes directly to where it's actually held, so the release is real and it lasts.
bodywork is a deeply relaxed, focused state of attention. You've been in it many times without naming it - the long drive you don't remember finishing, the book you fell into, the song that pulled you somewhere else.
A session moves between massage, craniosacral work, and energy healing as the body calls for it. You stay present and aware the whole time, it's collaborative work, not something done to you.
Most clients come in for one of these. The free consultation is where we find the right starting point together.

Michael Brasunas is a LMBT, BCT bodywork therapist helping people across North Carolina make the changes that surface-level approaches never quite reach.
Since 2005, Michael has developed this body of healing work in Asheville, drawing on training with master teachers and thousands of client sessions, offered both in person and via distance session.
From Asheville to Asheville, and by secure video for clients who can't make it to the office. The work travels - and it holds up just as well through a screen.
You tell us what you want to change, and we talk it through together, including how many sessions it usually takes.
First sessions run about 90 minutes - half talking, half bodywork. You stay fully awake, remember everything, and stay in control the whole time.
Most goals take just a handful of sessions. You leave with the change taking root - and simple tools to keep it steady on your own.
